Question of the Week
25 July 2010
Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time "You were
buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him
through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead."
- Colossians 2:12
Daily Readings
Sunday Scripture Readings and Gospel:
Luke
11:1-13
Reflection:
In Luke's Gospel, the disciples want to be
taught by Jesus how to pray. Jesus gives the model for prayer:
praise God, put our petitions before Him and ask for forgiveness.
He is always there to hear our needs and desires. "Ask and you
will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be
opened." It is our willingness and persistence in our prayer
life/faith to surrender our needs to God. He is our Father who
is always faithful to his children.
Reflective
Question: What are my deepest
needs? What keeps me from bringing these needs to God and
asking God for help in meeting these needs?
Faith
Response: I will take time
each day to improve the frequency and quality of my prayer.
